Ecological disaster in the Black Sea
⚡️🇷🇺🛢The sinking of tankers carrying fuel oil in the Kerch Strait, which Greenpeace called the largest environmental disaster in the Black Sea, led to the pollution of tens of kilometers of sandy beaches along the coast of the Krasnodar Territory.

As of Wednesday, December 18, the length of the coastal strip contaminated with oil products has increased by 1.5 times in 24 hours and reached 49 km, the press service of the Russian Emergencies Ministry reported

Igor Shkradyuk, coordinator of the Wildlife Conservation Center, believes that the length of the polluted coastline could increase to 100 km.

❗️The EU has threatened to begin detaining Russian "shadow" tankers, many of which should have been sent to the scrap yard long ago
